Brown at Gary and refused to go on. The referee did notallow the claim and fingsiders did,notput much faith in Herrick's assertion.Brown had given him an artistictrimming while the fight went on.Herrick was knocked down in boththe first and second rounds, and theGreek was away out in front whenthe bout terminated. Charley Scully beat Clint Flynn in the semi-wind-up,Flynn being a game man to stayto the flnsh, for he was badly battered.
